#WhatsHappening for December 10, 2017

I've been wrong before.

Hey kids. Hope everyone in the area managed to survive the snow over the weekend. I have to tell you- there was a lot more of it than I expected. Then again, I get so sick of the Panicky-Pete weather forecasters that I pretty much tune out whatever they say- and believe even less of it.

Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler was in Douglasville this week to help open up Janie's House for abused and neglected girls at Youth Villages' Inner Harbour campus.

Tyler said he knew he wanted to help young women who had been abused back when he wrote Janie's Got A Gun.

Tyler met with residents and toured the facility after the ceremony. He told CNN it's hard for him to grasp what many of them have been through.

"You can see in their faces and hear in their voices how broken they are," he said. He added that his own stay in a rehab facility introduced him to many women who were there partly because of struggles resulting from abuse.

"While I was in (rehab), I found out most of women in there were battered and beaten and abused verbally and sexually in huge numbers," he said. "It was like seven out of 10, eight out of 10."

Tyler started Janie's Fund in 2015 to help at-risk girls, partnering with Youth Villages. He said he has high hopes for the residents.

Tech Crunch is reporting that Apple and Shazam will sign a deal tomorrow that will give the pretentious label rights to the music-identifying app. 

The deal is worth somewhere between $400 million and $1 billion.

A Minnesota judge has approved a deal for a documentary about the life of Prince.

The project was championed by Spotify’s Troy Carter- who serves as an advisor to Comerica Bank, the estate's personal representative, Comerica Bank & Trust- and won approval despite objections from the heirs.

In a court filing Friday, the judge wrote that Carter should have creative input and a degree of control over the project to protect the estate’s interests, finding the court would "be remiss in its fiduciary responsibility if it did not approve the transaction as presented."

I'll watch it.

One thing I'm not digging about the weather is the way my head is hurting. 

Alice Cooper has been cast as King Herod in NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live! 

"Alice Cooper, whose theatricality is the stuff of legend, is the perfect rock star to play Herod in our live production," said Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment. "Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote a showstopping musical number for Herod, and we all look forward to the ‘King of Shock Rock’ taking on the King of Judea. As the casting for Superstar ramps up, we can feel the excitement building for this brand new concert experience of what has long been considered the original rock musical."

The show will air on Easter Sunday, April 1.

Birthdays today include: Meg White of The White Stripes (43); Scot Alexander of Dishwalla (46); Timothy Christian Riley of Tony! Toni! Tone! (51); Joseph Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. (52); and Ralph Tavares of Tavares (69). #MusicalBirthdays
